I gather there's a relationship between the number of times a member has posted, and the number of stars and pounds that magically appear under the avatar. Out of curiosity, might there an explanation posted somewhere by Ginny, or one of the Administrators, with respect to how weight is gained and stardom attained? ciel Ciel... seeking Heaven in my cup with .................................................................................................................

I'm pretty sure it's a rating as to how many threads or replies you've posted. Mine clicked over to 1/4 pounder at 50 posts. Many forums have similar ratings for their members, usually themed to the forum. |

So 4 stars will be 1 Pounder and five will be PunderPlus

Curious, why Pounder Plus, not Pounder? Ken in NC --------------

Quote Thanks Ginny - much appreciated! Does that mean that the software/platform you are using here at HRO imposes certain constraints, one of which may be an actual limit on the number of stars you can choose to display? ciel Ciel... seeking Heaven in my cup with .................................................................................................................

I gotta tell you as far as I am concerned the "bean" is way overused on coffee sites. I appreciate your suggestions... we are limited somewhat but let me go back and look at size issues again... thanks for your input. ginny  |

I don't know of a size limitation. It might throw off the formatting of the screen panels if they are too big. Here is a screen capture of a 5 star ranking with the size of the file. It is pretty small file (.png) and there are 6 separate files, one for each star and one for no stars. 72 pixels wide and 16 pixels high.

Quote Thanks Jack. So it follows that each star is (or alternate image would be) merely 16 x 14.4 pixels... ciel Ciel... seeking Heaven in my cup with .................................................................................................................

Each image is of 5 stars. The active star shows the ranking, the others are greyed out.

Thanks Jack. With such a tiny image size, it would indeed be difficult to replace the STAR with another object that would be as easily recognizable. ciel
